Wearing books in the 70s: the delicate educated youth have material space
Chapter 21 Asking for work
Zhou Feng had no good reason to stop her eldest brother's family, and her sister-in-law was not good enough, but she was right. She was not Zhou Zhaodi's biological parents. Even if she wanted to help Zhaodi again, the most she could do was stop them.
She couldn't stop her. Liu Minzhi, a grown man, couldn't catch his sister-in-law and could only watch her being taken away.
Unable to protect her niece, Xu Xu had to go out and live alone. Zhou Feng was now depressed.
Zhou Feng felt unwell in the afternoon and lay down in the room to rest. Cheng Xu took over the responsibility of cooking at noon the next day, and Liu Sibo helped light the fire.
"Auntie is still sleeping?"
Cheng Xu wanted to make hot and sour potato shreds. There were no pickled peppers at home, so she used chili peppers and vinegar to make them. The knife skills in her hands were so smooth that Liu Sibo didn't even blink.
"Mom is still feeling uncomfortable. She lies in bed and ignores everyone. Dad even calls her and ignores everyone."
Cheng Xu knew that Zhou Feng was feeling uncomfortable, so she didn't go to Zhou Feng's side to make her feel worse. She could only let Liu Sibo explain the situation to her.
"You have been watching Aunt Zhou at home these days, treating her like pistachio and making her laugh."
Liu Sibo patted his chest and assured, "Sister, I'm sure."
Hot and sour potato shreds, stir-fried lotus white, cucumber and preserved egg soup, the three dishes were quickly prepared. There was also a small bowl of meat sauce that Liu Sibo had not eaten before, and the rice was sweet potatoes and rice.
Cheng Xu put a little bit of each dish for Aunt Zhou and asked Sibo to bring it to the room: "Bring it to Aunt Zhou to eat first."
When Liu Sibo came out of the room empty-handed, Cheng Xu looked at him expectantly: "How is it? Do you want to eat?"
"After eating a little bit, mom said to put the bowl inside and wait until she gets hungry to blow on it."
Cheng Xu relaxed and just wanted to eat.
Liu Minzhi sat at the dining table and asked the two of them to sit down and eat: "Let's all eat. Don't worry. She just feels uncomfortable. I will watch it."
Then he asked Cheng Xu about repairing the house: "If you want to go out to live, I won't stop you. Come back when you are hungry or scared. If you don't want to come back, I will send Sibo to you."
"Now that the busy farming season is over, you can find someone in the village to help you rebuild your house. Don't worry about these things. I will help you find someone."
Cheng Xu didn't understand this either. She only knew that asking villagers to help build a house required wages and food. If she wanted to finish the house as soon as possible, she wanted to find a few more people. She had to do the cooking alone. Maybe, she would like to ask Sister-in-law Yang and Aunt Hao to help again.
"Uncle Liu, please help me find a few people. I don't know how to repair a house. I will only take care of the money and cooking. I plan to ask Sister-in-law Yang and Aunt Hao to help." In Aunt Zhou's current situation, she also I don’t want to trouble Aunt Zhou, so three people are enough.
"Uncle, you can call a few more people so that we can finish the job as soon as possible."
"it is good."
The matter of living alone has been settled, and she will go out to live as soon as the house is repaired. Cheng Xu has also settled one thing on her mind. Now she is waiting for the beautiful boy to come to the village.
Thinking about it made her excited. She counted the time with her fingers. Half a month had passed in a blink of an eye. She would go to the entrance of the village tomorrow to see if he was coming.
There has been little progress in Secretary Wang's investigation of people, but it is still easy to find someone to repair Cheng Xu's house. He asked the village chief to find young and middle-aged people in the family who have more men and can repair houses. After six or seven people arrived, he personally took the people to Liu's house.
The two happened to be at the door of Peng's house. Cheng Xu was about to go out when he saw Secretary Wang leading several men in front of the house.
She retreated tactically, "What are you doing?" Don't be told by her yesterday, bring someone to find trouble today.
Secretary Wang had a kind look on his face: "Xuxu, you want to repair your house? Grandpa Wang has found manpower for you. These people are all people who often repair houses in the village, and their skills are guaranteed."
Someone handed him a pillow when he felt sleepy. Cheng Xu had wanted to ask Uncle Liu to help find someone the day before yesterday, so Secretary Wang immediately found someone to bring him over.
Cheng Xu's face changed instantly and became closer to Secretary Wang: "Please, Grandpa Wang, you are thinking of me so much. You really helped me a lot. I am still having a headache looking for someone, but I have something to do today. Please take your uncles and brothers to see my Uncle Liu, he knows how to arrange it."
Cheng Xu threw him to Uncle Liu and shouted into the room: "Uncle Liu, Secretary Wang helped me find someone to repair the house. Please help me entertain him."
Then he apologized to Secretary Wang and the people behind him: "I'm leaving now. Goodbye!"
She picked up her backpack and left, staring at the others with her vigorous posture.
Cheng Xu had waited all morning in vain yesterday. Today she went to the entrance of the village to wait for someone. Today there were several villagers waiting to change vegetables at the entrance of the village, including Aunt Hao and Sister Yang.
Cheng Xu walked up and said hello: "Aunt Hao, Sister Yang, what a coincidence."
Sister-in-law Yang looked at the clothes and cans in Cheng Xu's basket and asked, "Xuxu, you can't exchange for anything. They come to our village mainly to exchange for vegetables. People can still eat meat. Why don't you go back and get some vegetables to exchange for it?" ?”
Sister-in-law Yang thought Cheng Xu came to exchange food like them.
Everyone in the village knows that those who come to the village to exchange vegetables only exchange vegetables. If any family has extra vegetables, they can exchange them. They also exchange for meat, but the frequency is very small.
"I'm not changing this, I'm giving it as a gift. Didn't someone save me when I fell into the water? These clothes are all for my savior."
Cheng Xu put the backpack in front of him and began to tell Sister-in-law Yang and Aunt Hao what he had thought before.
"Sister-in-law Yang, Aunt Hao, I have something to ask you for help with."
Aunt Hao: "Whatever matter you tell me, any aunt who can help will definitely help." Aunt Hao now has a very good sense of Cheng Xu, which reminds her of when Cheng Xu was just born in the village, who had a fleshy little face? They all smiled brightly, and even people in the village who didn't like girls would smile when they saw her.
Not to mention that Cheng Xu also helped Aunt Hao.
Sister-in-law Yang also nodded. Anyway, there is nothing to do now. She is just idle at home.
Cheng Xu: "I want to move back to my old house. But as everyone knows, my old house is in dilapidated condition, so I plan to rebuild it. I want to live in it quickly, so I want to find more people. help."
"But when this person eats too much, it becomes a problem. There are only two of us in my family, Aunt Zhou and I, and we don't have enough people to cook, so I want to ask you two to help."
"I won't let everyone work in vain. You can take some of the leftover meat and vegetables home every day, and I will give you [-] cents a day as wages."
Cheng Xu calculated the wages of these people in the town. The fifty cents a day she gave was not high, but she also asked the two of them to take the remaining meat and vegetables home and work in the village. After all, she was treated like this. Not bad at all.
She didn't plan to pay more, lest people think she was stupid and had too much money. The people who built her house were the same, including food and seventy cents a day.
She couldn't stop her. Liu Minzhi, a grown man, couldn't catch his sister-in-law and could only watch her being taken away.
Unable to protect her niece, Xu Xu had to go out and live alone. Zhou Feng was now depressed.
